“Misto! Misto!” Maggie called. “Where is he…” She walked over to her best friend , and next door neighbor, Liz’s house. “Liz. Is Misto here?” “Ya. Here he comes.” Liz said. “Thanks.” Maggie called as she walked to her apartment across the hall. “No problem!” Liz called after her. Alonzo, Liz’s cat, stood at the door and watched Misto go. “BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!” Liz’s clock sounded. Alonzo got up and jumped up on Liz’s bed to wake her. Liz opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Alonzo in her face. “If you… Mom!!! He did it again.” A big dead rat was lying on the floor at Liz’s feet. “Alonzo…” “Clean it up dear! I am in the shower!” “Gee thanks mom!” Liz scooped up the dead rat and put it in a bag that said Eat At Joe’s!!! . Maggie came and knocked at the door. “Hi.” “Hey…” Liz’s voice trailed off. “Here. Eat up.” Liz said handing the bag to Phoebe. “No. Not again. Come on I gotta go to the Dumpster anyway.” “Ok. Mom! I’m taking my present to the Dumpster!!” “That’s nice dear!” “Look at this article!” Maggie said. : WANTED TEST SUBJECTS FOR A NEW HAIR SHAMPOO/BODY WASH PRODUCT PAID $200 FOR EACH PERSON THAT PARTICIPATES WORST SIDE EFFECTS:UNKNOWN SEND IN THIS FORM WITH ONE, TWO, OR THREE NAMES “Sounds good to me.” Liz said. With a pen Maggie brought along they filled out the form and sent it in the mail first class-one day trip. At 6:00 their order came back. They each used it in their shower that night and went to bed. Misto jumped up on Maggie's bed to wake her. “Where’d she go!?” He yelled. “Maggie was that you?” called her mother. “No.” Misto called back in the best Maggie voice possible. He then crawled under the sheets and saw a kitten. “Misto!? Have you been out caching rats with Alonzo? And how many did you eat!?” Maggie asked. Misto was so freaked out that he yelled and ran out the opened door. At the same time Alonzo discovered the same thing with Liz and had the same reaction. Misto and Alonzo grabbed each others shoulders and yelled at each other then Alonzo smacked Misto. “It’s me!” “I just had a nightmare that Maggie turned into a cat.” Misto said. “I had the same dream about Liz.” Alonzo said. They stared at each other and turned around to see two kittens. “Liz?!” asked a red tiger tabby. “Maggie?!” asked a black cat. “Oh my god we are…are…” “Cats!” they said together. Alonzo and Misto stared at them and then hugged each other and Alonzo said, “We’ve gone mental pal.” Munkustrap looked up and saw Alonzo come in followed by two kittens then Misto. “Who are they?” Munk asked. “This is… is.” Alonzo stuttered “I’m his little mas…oof.” Alonzo rammed Liz in the ribs. “Well…” Munk asked. Alonzo thought, it was almost night and she was black. “Blacknight. This is Blacknight.” “And this is?” Munk asked about Maggie. Misto saw a globe and saw the Pacific Ocean. “Pacifica.” said Misto. “Pacifica. What are your three names?” Maggie…er…Pacifica remembered she and Liz…er…Blacknight had made up their names. “Maggie, Pacifica, and … should I tell?” “Yes.” “Andromeda.” “Greek?” “Yes.” “And you?” “Liz, Blacknight, and Sarafina.” “Old Deuteronomy? Can they be Jellicles?” “Yes. But first their history…” Pacifica and Blacknight flinched. “Well the truth is…” Blacknight started but Alonzo stepped in front of her. “Let her speak.” Old D said to Alonzo. Blacknight told him who they really were and how they got Misto and Alonzo. Pacifica told him how they turned into cats. “And here we are now.” She finished. “You may be Jellicles. One thing can you talk to humans?” Old D asked. “Yes. But we will never tell of the Jellicle Tribe.” They said together. “Pacifica. Lets go tell our moms.” “Ok.” Pacifica said. “Your mom.” “No yours” “Yours.” “Yours.” “Yours.” “Yours.” “Mine.” Blacknight finally said. They walked up to Liz’s apartment door. “Liz! Here are some kittens come see them.” Liz’s mother called. “Mom I’m down here.” “Liz the black one is talking to me.” “Pac go get the stuff.” Blacknight told Pacifica. “Mom I need to tell you this. Call Pacifica… Maggie’s mom and tell her it’s important.” They told their moms the story and showed them the bottle. “NO ANIGDOTE KNOWN!!!!!.” Our moms yelled. “LIZ. MAGGIE. Do you know what that means? You are a cat. Now and forever.
